FlipBelt Product Review and Giveaway!

I have an awesome product to share with you all today! Before I get started, tomorrow will mark 1 week of no running and I am hoping and praying that I will get some answers and can share them with you tomorrow! Keep your fingers crossed!

FlipBelt recently sent me one of their belts to try out. One of the problems I have always struggled with when it comes to running is how to take the things I need with me.

I usually want to take:
-iPhone
-Keys (especially if I drive somewhere to run)
-Gels/Power Chews
-Anti-Chafing ointment (just being honest!)

There are a lot of things I WANT to bring with me, but usually can’t because it’s impossible to carry it all.

FlipBelt solves all those problems and is also so easy to run with! (I tested this product out prior to my running hiatus).

Company Background

“FlipBelt is a company based in beautiful Colorado. We are focused on making the fitness apparel and accessories market more functional and sleek. Our concept was built on our personal experience of being unable to find exactly what we needed when working out. There were no items that met our needs and looked and felt great. We decided that this was a market that was lacking in fitness apparel and we set out to fill that market. The FlipBelt is the first item our company offered that defines what we want the company to be. Function that does not sacrifice style or comfort.”

FlipBelt meets a need of so many runners, hikers, gym goers, bikers, and even just those who enjoy traveling. It is stylish, comfortable, and meets so many needs! This company set out to make something that at the time no one else offered, and they did an amazing job! I am considering even taking this with me when I my husband runs his marathons in October, because as a spectator there are so many things you need to carry with you!

Fit

Score: 5 out of 5

I was a little worried when I first got the FlipBelt because I thought that with my phone, keys, and other items I wanted to carry that it would be make it bulky and hard to run in.

The belt fits right over the waste band of your shorts or pants (or above if you prefer it that way) and doesn’t slip or ride down during your workout. I could notice that it was there for the first couple minutes, but honestly once you get into the run or workout you even forget you are wearing it! I carried my phone, keys, and some energy chews when I tried it out and it felt like I wasn’t wearing anything!

There are two small pockets in the front and two pockets in the back that you can insert your items into.

This fit was amazing and it did not slide, move, or cause chaffing while I was running. It is a perfect way to be able to run and still feel safe by having your phone and other necessities with you.

Color and Feel

Score: 5 out of 5

The fabric that the FlipBelt is made out if is so soft. There isn’t anywhere on the band that causes any irritation and I even had mine on top of one my favorite spandex type shorts and it never slipped.

The fabric is machine washable, 92% Polyester, and 8% Spandex. It is easy to use and easy to take care of!

There are bright colors and also the normal blue, black, and white if that is more your style! There really is a color for everyone.

Practicality

Score: 5 out of 5

One of the questions I always ask myself when trying out a new product is: “how often would I actually use this?”

The FlipBelt is honestly a product I could see myself using on every outdoor run.

It offers a great and easy solution for how I can carry my phone with me. For you runners out there who use your phone as your music you can easily attach your headphones to it and avoid having to wear a pesky arm band.

I know it may be hard to believe, but even with my phone and keys in my FlipBelt it did not feel heavy or like it was weighing me down in any way. Trust me, I would not wear anything that added weight to me because with running it just makes it harder.

The FlipBelt is a product that you really should try! You can visit their website here to purchase your own. Even better you can use the coupon code LOTR and receive 10% off your order!

FlipBelt Giveaway!

FlipBelt has been gracious enough to provide a FlipBelt (color of your choice) to one of my readers! Just enter the giveaway below. You have several chances to enter! The giveaway will end on Wednesday, October 2nd at 12:00 AM EST.

Excellent – never heard of this one. I had a SpiBelt I lost … well, somewhere when traveling for work. So now I have a basic cheap running belt that is pretty good, but makes me choose a ‘subset’ of items to carry. Will have to enter this one when I get home (rafflecopter widgets blocked at work).

What a great giveaway!!! I have a Fuel Belt that I love because I can carry two waterbottles as well, but this looks awesome for times that I do not really need to be carrying water. Hope you get some answers tomorrow! 🙂

I carry my phone, keys, subway card, and money. Being in the city, I never know if I’ll need to grab a cab or hop on the subway in case of emergency! Always looking for a way to carry these. Usually ends up being stuffed in my bra or carried in my hands. Not ideal!

This is awesome! I usually wear a belkin arm band for my phone and stuff my key into a zip pocket in my running skirt, shorts or crops (lululemon is great about adding pockets to their clothes). I use a fuel belt for my fuel. It looks like your phone might slip out? Does it stay put in the pockets?

Ah! I’ve been looking for something to carry stuff when I run, but my big thing is it can NOT bounce up and down!! It sounds like this might be something to try? Any other suggestions? It would be to take a phone, maybe keys, some sort of fuel, etc.

Caroline – thanks for stopping by! I honestly think this is the best one I’ve tried, granted I haven’t tried very many! Before I used to just make sure to buy pants that had a small pocket in them so I could carry at least my key, but I have never have found a solution for my phone until this! I used to just carry it in my hand the whole time 🙂

I am always looking for something good to carry my stuff! My camelbak doesn’t have much room, and I only wear bulky waste carriers in the winter when i already wear so much bulk! This will be great for all seasons for my phone- keys, chapstick, gu and chafing gel!

Thanks for the review and giveaway! I carry my phone, keys, ID, credit card, health insurance card, iPhone, lip balm, kleenex, and cough drops. Phew! I need a backpack but this flipbelt will be a step in the right direction.

I usually just stuff some chews in the pocket of my skirt/shorts/pants but for races I like to carry more…phone, keys, chews. I’ve looked at this product before and it would be great to win one 🙂 Thanks!

That is very nice of you! Will do! 🙂 Thanks for being such a loyal reader of my little blog! Glad you are discovering some awesome new ones through here – I have been too! I have met so many people already and I am so thankful for each one!

Very nice. I would keep my phone and keys in it – and from time to time money. I just went running for the first time since I had twins a month ago. I’ve already lost quite a bit and my sweatshirt I wore was so lose my phone kept bouncing all around in the pocket and actually flew out once, luckily I felt it starting to bounce out so I was able to grab it.

I really need one, I was complaining to my husband that I got a bluetooth so I don’t have the carry my note 3 but you have a wall between you and phone and it drops the call, so not just when I’m working out but just around the house too! Thank you so! Mrs. Brothers
